is this legit or thief?

Just want to know if @onlaj is affiliated with the selling of this software on https://pianoledshop.com/en-us
I'm making a video tutorial on this and just wanted to know if i should plug them or not.

Hey.
Nope, they just used the code. I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

Don't they have the obligation to quote the creator of the original program ?

[onlaj]

It's under the MIT license, so they can do whatever they want with it. However, if they were cool about it, I would mention them in the readme.

i emailed them out of curiosity, and they said they came up with the software and have two patent on it. 😅

Well, they are probably lying. The similarities are too great to be called a coincidence.

Yep, the craziest thing is the promo they do in France saying that they are at the initiative of the project, they didn't even bother to customize the UI Design. If it wouldn't be a problem for you, I would have trolled their promos ^^.

Seem like we can access the web interface with raspberrypi.local without knowing the IP address.

[onlaj]

In version 1.5 it will be "pianoledvisualizer.local" in case there are more Raspberries in the local network.

hello,
I also found videos of the first version of the case which is exactly the 3D one of a pi zero!!
I left a comment on their Facebook ad 3 times mentioning the fact that we found free code to do exactly the same thing but each time it was deleted!!!
